The battle to protect Earth beyond the end of the Great Cycle of 2012 doesn't happen now, with our modern weapons and technology, but rather takes place a thousand years ago, in the times of the ancient Maya. William and his friends must overcome dangerous and bizarre challenges to rescue the Mayans who were abducted by the Grey Ones, and reach Chichen Itza to finish building the Castle of Kukulcan, and create a new Tree of Life. To succeed in their mission, they have to stop a damaging storm curse, while overcoming an invading army of Toltecs led by an evil shapeshifting feathered serpent. Fortunately, there are those who side with William and the Maya; a team of Toltecs led by Quetzalcoatl-the Maya call him Kukulcan. Although the Maya are greatly outnumbered, the bloodstone has become stronger than ever, and William needs to use his powers wisely in their final stand to save the world from the Mayan Apocalypse.

A sci-fi / time travel adventure into the world of the ancient Maya.

In the sequel to THE SERPENT PASSAGE (a sci-fi adventure in the times of the ancient Maya) the bloodstone is dying and must be revived in a ritual in the abandoned kingdom of Palenque. Along the way, William is confronted by demons, hostile feathered serpents, and other bizarre creatures that are determined to stop him. While William sleeps, he takes over the body of an owl, and tries to help the Mayans who were abducted by the Grey Ones.

"E-Mail From Nigeria" is the new humor anthology from Todd Allen, author of the "Todd's Oddities" column in "New York Resident." Sociological observations run amok. Tales of relationships gone horribly wrong. The foibles of business and politics. Strange things defying categorization. It is Todd's lot in life to document such things, or at least make them up. This volume features several columns never before seen in a print format. "No one can take the ludicrous and mundane and turn it into a funny dissertation on society like Todd Allen can. E-Mail from Nigeria is filled with enough hysterical twists and turns to empower a small African nation." -- Mark Rifkin, Editor in Chief, New York Resident News Magazine "Todd Allen is a pop-culture chameleon, like Madonna without the accent and twice the sex drive. The man is a zeitgeist maestro, such a hipster that's he's an anti-hipster." -- Marty Beckerman, Author, Generation S.L.U.T., Death To All Cheerleaders
